The glutton looked up and saw Gu Ling and Xianjiu.
Gu Ling shook the candy jar and stuffed it into Greedy Ghost's hand: "Greedy Ghost, this is the candy I bought for you."
The glutton took the candy jar and subconsciously raised a smile: "Jie Jie~"
Xianjiu jumped on the bench and sat directly next to the glutton.
Gu Ling thought for a while and said, "That friend of yours always remembers that you like to eat sweets. Back then, he... must have been looking forward to meeting you again."
"...Jie." The glutton's two chubby hands held the candy jar, and his voice was a little low.
Gu Ling pointed at the candy jar and suggested, "Would you like to try this candy? I asked the store specifically. Many children like this candy."
Xianjiu stretched out his head with curiosity on his face: "Miwu~" I also want to try it.
So, Greedy opened the lid, first took two candies and gave them to Gu Ling and Xianjiu. Then he peeled off the icing on one candy and threw the candy into his mouth.
The sweetness of the candy spread in his mouth, and the glutton couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that Greedy Gui was in a much better mood, Gu Ling said, "Let's go back."
"Jie Jie~"
The glutton nodded.
When Gu Ling returned to the hospital, he learned that the old man had been sent to the operating room for rescue.
After several hours of rescue efforts, the attending doctor unfortunately announced that the rescue efforts were ineffective.
The old man passed away.
Half an hour later, when Nian Huailin, whose eyes were slightly red, found Gu Ling and Greedy Ghost, he was still holding an old and faded five-pointed star-shaped candy box in his hand.
Gu Ling's voice was a little dry: "Uncle Nian, my condolences."
"The old man left with a smile and no regrets." Nian Huailin smiled reluctantly and handed the candy box to the glutton: "The old man asked me to take this from home. I think it should be handed over to him." For you."
The glutton took the box silently.
"I'm leaving first. The old man's affairs still have to be dealt with."
After handing the candy box to the glutton, Nian Huailin left.
After the incident was over, Gu Ling and Gu Mingsheng drove back to Ping'an Town.
"Jie Jie~"
When getting off the bus, Greedy Gui took the initiative to mention that he wanted to go to the beach for a walk.
So, Gu Ling brought Xianjiu and Greedy Ghost to the beach.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there were very few people on the beach.
The glutton was floating aimlessly on the beach, with Gu Ling and Xian Jiu following behind.
Finally, after walking for almost half an hour, Gu Ling asked the Greedy Ghost floating in front of him: "Greedy Ghost, do you want to go back to the haunted house on the island?"
"That island has been bought by someone. Sooner or later, the old buildings on the island will be demolished and a new water park will be built."
"Jie..." The gluttonous ghost paused. It turned its head and looked in the direction of the sea, with a bit of confusion in its eyes.
The glutton couldn't answer, and it didn't know where else it could go now.
In fact, the haunted house on the island is not its home, but more of a temporary habitat.
The glutton doesn't like a quiet environment. On the contrary, he likes crowded and lively places. It was because of a previous agreement that he stayed there for such a long time.
Now this agreement is gone, and the haunted house has lost the meaning of continuing to stay.
Looking at the confused expression on the glutton's face, Xianjiu on the side stretched out his little paw, gently tugged on Gu Ling's trousers, and called out: "Miwu~"
Beastmaster~
Can the glutton stay?
Gu Ling bent down and touched Xianjiu's head, feeling a little funny.
Just yesterday morning, Xianjiu wanted to beat the glutton.
Now you can’t bear to part with it?
but……
Gu Ling looked at Greedy Ghost again and expressed what he had been thinking about: "Glutty Ghost, do you want to consider coming with us? Become my second contract partner."
Hearing this, the gluttonous ghost was stunned.
Xianjiu walked to the gluttonous ghost and blinked his cat eyes quickly: "Miwu~" Yes, yes, think about it~
The glutton was a little confused by these words. After he realized what he was saying, he started to feel at a loss: "...Jie?"
Really?
Do you really want to be friends with me?
Gu Ling smiled and asked, "Aren't we already friends?"
The glutton waved his chubby hands nervously: "Jie Jie~"
I don’t look good, I’m weird and ugly QAQ
Gu Ling reached out and touched Greedy's head: "No, I think you look good and cute like this."
"Other gluttons are black and purple, but you are uniquely green, you should be proud."
unique?
This was the first time that the glutton heard someone praise it so much that it couldn't help but blush.
"Glutty, are you willing to become my second contract pet? From now on, my home will also be your home, and my family will also be your family." Gu Ling asked again with a smile.
Home?
When he heard this word, Greedy Ghost was a little distracted.
Even though Greedy Ghost has been on the island for such a long time, his memories of wandering around and not being accepted are still very impressive to him.
"Miwu~" Xianjiu put his hands on his hips, urging the glutton to squeak quickly.
Seeing that you are willing to help me pretend to be a cat, I will reluctantly take you to play games with me from now on~
The glutton looked at Gu Ling, then at Xianjiu, with a big smile on his face again, and nodded quickly: "Jie Jie~"
The next second, the glutton jumped into Gu Ling's arms.
Gu Ling reached out and hugged Greedy Ghost back: "Welcome to join us, Greedy Ghost."
"Miwu~"
"..."
…
After returning from the beach, Greedy Gui returned to his usual energetic state.
After returning home, Greedy was the first to rush towards the kitchen.
"Jie Jie~"
Xiang Jinli had just steamed a basket of small cakes when she saw the greedy ghost floating over eagerly. She smiled and said, "Here, take them all out, but be careful of burning them."
"Jie Jie~" The glutton smiled and nodded, then went out with the little cake in his arms.
Later, when Xiang Jinli was about to bring the cooked food out to the table, Greedy Ghost also took the initiative to come over and help.
After finishing dinner, Gu Ling glanced at the nervous looking glutton floating around above his head, then turned to look at Gu Mingsheng and the others: "Second uncle, second aunt."
Gu Ling waved to Gluttony and introduced, "Let me introduce you again. This is my second contract partner, Gluttony."
Gu Zhou's eyes widened on the opposite side: "I'll go! Gu Ling, are you serious? How did you trick the glutton into becoming your pet?"
Gu Ling looked calm: "Of course it was my sincere heart that impressed the glutton. How can this be considered deception?"
"Ling Ling, your current pet space has not been upgraded yet, so you can't make a contract with the glutton, right?" Gu Ya said.
Gu Ling nodded: "Yes, so I made an agreement with Greedy Ghost. When my pet beast's space reaches two stars, I will make a contract with Greedy Ghost again."
"Jie Jie~" The glutton grinned beside him.
"Pet animals that have not been contracted need to apply for an adoption certificate and undergo a health examination before they can be allowed to be kept at home or taken to public places. Since you have decided to contract a glutton, then find time to apply for an adoption certificate. ." Gu Mingsheng said.
"Well, I'm going to apply for the adoption certificate tomorrow. I've also asked for leave from the school. I'll go back to school the day after tomorrow."
Gu Ling had already planned this when he was thinking about the glutton.
He was supposed to go back to school tomorrow on the 8th. When Gu Ling came back from the beach, he called Zhou Mengran and explained the situation and took two days off.
After finishing the meal, the glutton followed Xianjiu and ran to watch a bloody TV series with Xiang Jinli with a happy face.
The two pets, one on the left and one on the right, let Xiang Jinli pet and hug her very obediently.
…
Early the next morning, Gu Ling was licked awake by a glutton again.
Gu Ling helplessly stretched out his hand and pinched Gluttony's chubby face: "Glutious, you didn't sleep, did you?"
Otherwise, why would I wake up so early?
"Jie Jie~" The glutton smiled, with a bit of cunning in his eyes.
Gu Ling got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, went downstairs to finish breakfast, then took his two pets with him, got into Gu Mingsheng's car, and went to the nearest Yeming City together.
Only pet animal alliances distributed in municipal-level cities can distribute pet animal adoption certificates to the public.
However, before going to the Yeming Pet Alliance branch, Gu Ling first went to the Yeming Pet Medical Center and gave Greedy a full-body health check-up.
Greedy Ghosts live in the wild for a long time. If they are injured, they cannot go to human animal medical centers for medical treatment. There will be more or less old injuries on their bodies.
Moreover, Gu Ling also needs to know the detailed physical data of Gluttony so that he can better cultivate and train Gluttony in the future.
Inside the Yeming Pet Medical Center.
Glutton's full-body health checkup took an hour.
It would take two hours for the results of the health examination to come out. During this period, Greedy Ghost could not sit still, and the pet animals could not be allowed to move around in the medical center. Gu Ling had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and let Xianjiu and Greedy Ghost go together. Watch cartoons.
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
The two pet beasts sat side by side on chairs, watching the cartoons playing on their mobile phones attentively, muttering to each other from time to time.
Two hours later.
Gu Ling was informed to get the health examination report.
In an office, the staff handed the health examination report to Gu Ling and said in a steady voice:
"This Greedy Ghost has some stunted growth and some old injuries on his body, but they are all minor problems. He can be nursed back to health by supplementing with more nutrition and doing some rehabilitation training. However... there may not be anything that can be done about the Greedy Ghost later on. Evolve again.”
Gu Ling saw the words "suspected permanent evolutionary stagnation" written on the report results, and his breathing tightened slightly.
"Why can't the good ones no longer evolve?"
It's obvious that Greedy Ghost has shown signs of evolution dozens of times before. Could it be because...
The staff explained aloud: "The many previous evolutions of Greedy Ghost have been forcibly interrupted, causing the originally stable evolutionary gene chain to collapse. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, there are only two possibilities. The first is If you continue to remain as you are, the second option is to completely degenerate into a devil."
"The chance of fully evolving into a glutton is less than 5%. Please be mentally prepared. This glutton will probably never be able to fully evolve."
Coming out of the office, Gu Mingsheng was waiting outside.
Seeing Gu Ling's expression changed, Gu Mingsheng also took the health examination report and glanced at it.
When he saw the line of words at the bottom, Gu Mingsheng frowned.
Then, Gu Mingsheng pulled Gu Ling into the corner: "Xiao Ling, are you still sure you want to contract with the Greedy Ghost now? Can you accept the result that it will never be able to fully evolve and even degenerate into a Greedy Ghost?"
"Rationally speaking, if you don't have a deep relationship with the glutton now, separate from it in time. In the future, you can find a ghost-type pet beast with no evolutionary flaws to make a contract with."
"No, that's it." Gu Ling shook his head: "The Greedy Ghost I like is the most special. Even if it can't evolve, it's not a big deal. I quite like the way Greedy Ghost looks now."
"Furthermore, the symptoms of the glutton's evolutionary stagnation are acquired. Maybe we can find a solution in the future. Isn't there still a 5% chance?"
I just told the glutton yesterday that they would become family members and partners in the future.
Gu Ling would never break his promise.
Apart from the initial surprise, Gu Ling has accepted it well now.
Isn't Xianjiu also a problem beast? Then it doesn't matter if there is one more glutton.
It's just that it can't evolve. The aptitude of the glutton is not low. Even if the worst result is to degenerate into an evil ghost, with the golden finger of the ancient beast control book, Gu Ling is confident that he can cultivate a good glutton.
Hearing this, Gu Mingsheng sighed softly: "Since you have decided, I won't say anything. Now go to the Pet Alliance branch and get the adoption certificate for Greedy Ghost. You have to go back to school. …”
Just as Gu Ling was about to nod in agreement, from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of green color on the edge of the corner, but it quickly disappeared.
This is……
When Gu Ling and Gu Mingsheng came back, Xianjiu and Greedy Ghost were still sitting obediently on their chairs watching cartoons, as if they had never left.
Gu Ling walked over and picked up the two little cuties, one on the left and one on the right: "Let's go, let's go to the Pet Beast Alliance branch."
"Miwu~"
Xianjiu held the phone with his two little paws, fearing that it would fall. He continued to watch the cartoon with intense eyes. He also poked the glutton on the side to signal him not to be distracted by the drama.
The new guy just loves to speculate.
The beast master is the two-legged beast that this cat likes. He is the best two-legged beast~
"Jie Jie~" The gluttonous ghost grinned, nodded, and then concentrated on watching the cartoon.
On the way to the Pet Beast Alliance branch, Gu Ling looked at Greedy Gui who was fighting with Xianjiu in the car, and suddenly said: "Glutious Gui, can I give you a new name?"
"You are now a unique glutton. You combine the characteristics of an evil ghost and a glutton. It's too bad to keep calling yourself a glutton."
"Jie Jie~" The glutton smiled and nodded, then blinked his big blood-red eyes and looked at Gu Ling expectantly.
Gu Ling thought for a moment and then said: "How about..."
"Just call me Naughty Ghost. It suits your personality very well."
"Jie Jie~"
Greedy Ghost... Naughty Ghost happily waved his little chubby hands and floated around in the car twice. He obviously liked this new name very much.
